I was googling this yesterday and I remember it being issue 37, but I could be off on that one. Also, a great way to spend $55 would be the $25 rivendell membership, which gets you the reader for a year, $10 off your first order, and the member (basically normal, but pretty good) parts prices, plus the 4 CDR's of the old readers @$10 each. However, at least according to the site, you only get up to issue 35 or something, so you would miss out on the article in question. But anyway, that's going to be my birthday present to myself this year.

As for running drops up high, yeah, it does kind of work, but the riv guys act like that's the point of drops. Nevermind that drops were invented to get you low. I mean, flop and chops make great bullhorns, but you nobody's claiming that's the point of drops. I also love how they hate flat bars with extensions because they only give you two positions, but then they sell the albatross, which is a two position bar if there ever was one.
